just read through this thought your tank was going to look amazing, only to end like that sad. but keep your chin up as you say your already thinking about the next one and we all hope to see its progress here to finalization.
Can you tell what it is yet? Construction has started!

catfish whisperer
where abouts is this catfish whisperer? i feel a documentary coming on.
Water level now below the glass. Still got the Bass, headstander, and Adonis waiting to go before completely draining it.
Thanks, hopefully get to start another build thread sooner rather than later.
He was in Lincolnshire. Not gonna give anymore details away other than that as he struck me as being a rather private person (at least i think he is, not seen anyone like him from this country on here.) His biggest big cats were already in a decent sized pond but he was finishing off building a new 9x6x4 fibreglass home for them when i dropped Big Fella off so the 'smaller' ones he had could start growing out too.

Just wanted to echo everyone else's sentiments really & say it's a shame this didn't get finished & good luck with your next build
Thanks guys. Hopefully the last fish will be out by the end of the week and i'll start tearing it down next week.

real shame mate, a sad day, at least though as loads of other people have said, the brain is ticking over the next build
i'll get stuck back into mine real soon, round two. gonna go with the 600 quid glass price, best of the lot so that'll do.

Mrs Satan has given me permission to do something that should work out about 20,000gal if we've got the space once we've moved (assuming the place we want to buy is still available!) So i'd best start working on plans and hope arapaima are legal there! Still follows the container idea but probably won't be transportable and will be one whole wall of my shed/workshop/garage/bar. Will have to be a very long term plan and hopefully I can get sold up here and move soon.
Shame you don't have any tanks set up anymore, would be throwing the last of my fish in your direction! Mrs Satan did eventually get a reply from the powers that be over importing our fish but they weren't very positive about it so good job I sold up. Got instruction on how they'd like any equipment we want to take cleaned up though so that's ok.
Will still be lurking here a lot while i'm fish free.
All the fish are out now, the Bass has finally been sold. syphoning the last of the water out now, going to take hours as there's so little pressure
Trying to work out how to get the glass out in one piece is giving me issues.

Dregs of the water syphoned out. not looking too clean!
Silicone being chisled away from around the window frames. Note the difference in colour at the very bottom of the windows between the middle one that didn't leak and end ones that did.
Towels down to soak up the end of it.
The lid wood work gets disposed of
